RyanGT Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 VW Touareg TDI 4Motion, and soon the Audi Q5 quattro TDI. VW should bring over the Tiguan TDI 4Motion. BMW has the X5 xDrive35d. MB has the ML350 CDI 4Matic and GL350 CDI 4Matic. . . I have enough drama for now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Was hoping for something more along the lines of a car/wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolksey85 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Was hoping for something more along the lines of a car/wagon. AFAIK, no one offers AWD with a diesel in sedan, coupe or wagon form in the US. Go the UK and it's common but no, us Americans can't get cool combos like that.

c-lo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 ^ I hear you on not wanting to give up your LGT wagon. I was also bouncing around the idea of getting a Golf R, but I'm leaning more towards getting a Jetta Sportwagen TDI 6MT and keeping my LGT wagon as a snow car. I'd like to do the same. also looking at a TDI sportwagon 6MT as my next car. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It just seems like an affordable AWD TurboDiesel car would be a great seller. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmanaenk Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The R does seem smoother and less peaky between 3k and 6.5k and rowing through the gears is a much more enjoyable - shorter throws and more precise. Really? When I test-drove the R I was somewhat annoyed by the length of the throws compared to my OEM 6mt SS shifter. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze741 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I am also looking to purchase a TDI Sportwagen pretty soon. The sales guy told me they are assembled in Mexico... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdog22 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I have a truly good VW story. I've owned 2 in my life. first car was an 87 VW Jetta, had 130K miles on it, got it from someone else who I cannot say took great care of it. Only issue was oil leaks which were minimal. Last one was purchased brand new, 2001 VW Wolfsburg edition, 170K miles, just got rid of it before the Legacy. I took good care of it, all synthetic oils, well maintained. Biggest issue was the wheels (Wolfsburg had 16" BBS 2 piece wheels), they rotted had to be redone, cost me about 500 to fix them, should have just replaced them with aftermarket wheels. All in all, the car ran great, sold for a good price and continues to run well. I loved the car, but my wife really likes he Subaru's as do I so I made the switch which I am happy with it.

blaze741 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I just got quoted 600 dollars under dealer invoice for a 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI w/dsg. Car includes the protection kit and first aid kit for free. I think its a great deal along with 1.9 percent financing and first month payment paid with the college graduate program. I'm looking at 28,100 OTD for the car, minus first months payment. Looks like i'm going to VW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 One of the regulars brought his new R out to the last autox on Sunday. One of the instructors drove it and posted a very respectable time considering the car was on it's stock Pirelli A/Ss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
